MANTLE FOR GAS-BURNERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 790,265, dated May 16,1905. Application filed December 10, 1904.. Serial No. 236,266.

To aZZ whom it may concern: Be it known that I, AMBROSE H. SASSMAN, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York,boroughof Manhat- 5 tan, in the county and State of New York, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Mantles for Gas-Burners, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description. The objectof my invention is to provide a I mantle especially adapted for use inconnection with gas-burners used for heating purposes, which mantle sosurrounds the burner as to direct the heat from the burner inconcentrated form in an upward direction and at I the same time is sofar removed from the burner that the fiame from the burner will create asuction, drawing up air between the mantle and burner, which air isheated and conducted upward with the actual heat from Q 2 the flame ofthe burner.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of theseveral parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed outin the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a plan view of a gas heating- 3 stove having the improvedmantle applied.

Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section taken practically on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and Fig.

3 is a perspective view of the mantle.

The mantle is made of asbestos or of a composition of which asbestos isthe most prominent element, and the said mantle is open at the top andat the bottom and at its upper portion is preferably inwardly andupwardly inclined, as is shown at A in the drawings. 4 The base portionof the mantle is of greater diameter than its upper portion, as is shownin Fig. 3. The base portion of the mantle is surrounded by a metal bandor hoop 10, so as to hold the mantle in perfect shape, and the saidmantle is of slightly larger dimensions than the burner it is adapted tosurround, so that an open space is provided between the burner and themantle, and the said mantle is of such height that it extends butslightly above the upper portion of the burner.

7 Any improved form of clamp may be employed for attaching the mantle tothe supply-pipe of the burner. In the drawings the form of clampillustrated consists of an upwardly-extending arm 11. which-isordinarily passed between the band or hub 10 and the mantle, and asocket-section 12, which is adapted to receive the supply-pipe for theburner. The said socket 12 is provided with horizontal extension members13, through which extension members 13 a bolt 14: or its equivalent ispassed, so as to clamp the socket on the supply-pipe for the burner.

I desire it to be understood that I do not confine myself to asbestos asthe material for thebody portion of the mantle, as anynonheat-condueting material maybe employed for the purpose.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a mantle forthe burners of gas heating-stoves, consisting of a ring-like body of anon-heatconducting material, and means carried by the said body forsecuring the same to the supply-pipe of the burner.

2. As an improved article of manufacture, a mantle for the burners ofgas heating-stoves, comprising a ring-like body of asbestos having itsupper end contracted and a clamp secured to the lower portion of thesaid body.

3. As an improvedarticle of manufacture, a mantle for the burners of gasheating-stoves, comprising a ring-like body of a non-heatconductingmaterial, contracted at its upper portion and open at its top and at itsbottom,

a reinforcing-band for the lower portion of the mantle, and a clampattached to the said lower portion of the mantle,for the purposedescribed. v

In testimony whereofl have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

I AMBROSE H. SASSMAN.

MYRON SWART, M. H. MEYERS.
